Grateful for a Handy Husband

Now that my girls are getting older, we decided to get them new beds. The bunk beds were fine for when they were younger but we felt that they now need a more substantial mattress and a more ‘grown-up’ bed. We took a trip to IKEA and decided on a bed that we all liked.

I am grateful to have a husband that is handy – and who enjoys doing these tasks around our home. In addition, I am thankful that he is willing to show our daughters how to tackle the task of putting furniture together.

My husband put together two – one for each of our girls. They are loving it. The bed has become a space on which they can cuddle and read their books – and just relax.
As for putting it together – let’s say my daughter’s ability to correctly read IKEA’s pictorial instructions came in handy 🙂

I love it!! Family and projects. So many times in life we take the easy way out. Opening a large box of furniture from IKEA can be disgustingly disturbing when you accidentally break open the entire kit of screws. Home handymen/ handykids are way underated and most of the time not used enough. As a professional handyman I encourage all to learn. Anytime I can help please ask. God bless you and your family.

Fabulous 🙂 I hope she will be happy with her Ikea bed. Lucky girls to be given the opportunity to choose and help build their new beds. Yesterday I bought a new camera cause my previoius young one (only 8 months old) had died. Instead of being miserable for its death I was grateful I could afford a new model even if it means paying it off over three year period 😉

Cheers to IKEA … and to the patience assembly requires (at times). Grateful for the week? … The return of DWTS …. and more importantly, even with all the bad news in the world, I still believe the majority of the world is good.

I didn’t see an Allen wrench in any of the pictures. That’s surprising! It seems like anything I’ve ever bought from IKEA that required assembly included the handy dandy little Allen wrench. Handy husbands are wonderful to have around, especially when they are willing to teach as they work. I’m grateful that my husband has been that way, too. He’s taught our sons, and he’s taught me a few things, too. 🙂

Oh, I can so join you on this one Colline. We are blessed to have our ‘handy hubby’s’ for sure and whoever said that girls shouldn’t know how to be ‘handy’ themselves? My sons know how to cook, bake, clean, sew and iron. 😆

Love the photo’s hon. Looks like everyone had a great time and I can’t wait to see what the finished product will look like. Wonderful, I bet! 😀

Great team effort all round, your daughter will appreciate it all the more knowing her efforts contributed to the end result.
Unfortunately for me, being a handyman is not one of my fortes, opening the envelope with the instructions inside is quite a problem.
